Fiona Hill giving evidence at Trump's impeachment

Blimey - he's high on something, even if it's just his self-perceived ruler-of-the-world-by-proxy status. He's normally a glum sourpuss.

Well you know well you know well you know.
Even if it were true (which it probably is), it's strange notion.

Southern District of New York (SDNY) indicted him in March 2020 on charges including narco-terrorism conspiracy, cocaine importation conspiracy, and weapons-related offenses, which automatically included an outstanding arrest warrant.

Spoken word tends to be um………like that, you know.
I spent some time as a student earning a couple of quid on the side typing out transcriptions of recorded meetings. I had to include everything.

Well done to her. But. Opposition party leaders all seem far more verbose in their responses, than the actual leaders, as they don’t have to worry about push back. Actual leaders have to be far more diplomatic. Even if they would like to say what they really think.
Hopefully there are some discussions going on behind closed doors to come up with a coordinated and robust push back from world leaders.

I think most of us would find our own non-scripted verbal utterances highly embarrassing. It's undoubtedly a skill one can improve on, but the conflict between producing genuinely reflective responses to live questions in an eloquent manner is right at the limit of what the human brain can do, given the infinite number of ways of phrasing a response that actually answers the questions, and the nature of the linear structure of language.
Off the top of my head, I can't think of anyone at all who has really captured my attention like that: Obama was pretty good, I think, but I suspect he relied on chunks and formulas he'd used before.
That said - listen to this, and it seems he has few "ums" and "you knows", just the odd "and and and". Other than that, he takes his time. That said, he's already got clear ideas in his head, which he can order in an effective fashion, and has a good enough brain to produce a pretty eloquent argument to an impromptu question. An transcription would need little tidying up to make a decent written piece.

I think the literal transcription doesn't reflect well on someone who's quite impressive
